One thing leads to another. Talking about rape and its consequences.

I was commenting with friends about a post I wrote with news that a doctor had amtutated the wrong leg of a patient. Doctors wrongdoings and health wrongdoings led to abortions laws in my country and in the US. And abortion laws laws led to a conversation about child rape. I then remembered a movie I saw years ago calle "Precious". I checked it and you can check it online. It is a story about an obese child sexually abused by her father who had children by him. This, I know, is more usual than what many people know (or want to know). Rapes are less usually done by people who are walking through the neighborhood than by members of their own family including fathers. And when if lead to pregnancies it is even worse. The girl´s bodies are not yet prepared to be pregnant (and their mind aren´t either) but the children could have more genetic ailments being the result of inbreeding. And that, of course, is the recional part of it all. We could talk about the peril of the child-mother´s life and the psychological damage. In my country, now, a rapist goes to jail for a few years. He can even be let out sooner "for good conduct". And then what? Lately, a man who had raped and killed a girl was put in jail but after some time he was let out. And guess what? He did it again!!! The law is stronger after this. But the second victim could have been spared.
